JB MILLER WINS FIRST FIFA PRIZE FOR FICTION
Miller expressed his bewilderment at the award as he has no interest in football and his novel DUCH has nothing to do with sport. β€œThe first I heard of it was when I mentioned in passing invading Greenland to give a reading in Nuuk."

Charlie Kirk - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie...

IT SHOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT to condemn the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk without agreeing with his oppressive and theocratic views, which were well out of the political mainstream. This is not heresy or treason or β€œleft-wing Marxism,” but freedom of speech.

Duch is in Paris with me, getting the word out in bookstores, as well as accompanying me to cafes. World's best city for writing, bar none. And they like writers here. You should see the size of Victor Hugo's house in the Marais!

I always take my book #Duch with me, pretending to read it on the tube and placing it artfully on my table in a cafΓ©. The cover always seems to attract attention. Recently a table neighbor was so interested, he ordered the book on his phone, right there and then on Amazon. Personal marketing works!

The Second World War feels a bit further away this morning with news of the passing of John β€˜Paddy’ Hemingway, the last Battle of Britain pilot, who has died at 105. Let that sink in.

Whoever posts the funniest picture of Duch I’ll send you a rare unsigned copy of The Satanic Nurses (if you want, I’ll sign it). #Duch #PrincessDianaLives

In my novel Duch, King Charles has Purcell and Bach blasted out of the Buckingham Palace swimming pool sound system "to get in the kingly mood," but apparently he actually listens to Bob Marley and BeyoncΓ©. Who knew? #Duch #Diana #PrincessDianaLives

Support the Washington Post! Don’t use Bezos’s recent announcements of editorial control as an excuse to end your subscription. I find no diminishment of editorial independence and those guys are covering the crises in DC superbly. Keep WaPo going!

For the alleged cost of Meghan’s coat you could buy 4,181 copies of my novel Duch, which is all about Princess Diana being found alive in Paris. But you only need to buy 12. #Duch #PrincessDianaLives

The lovely smell of your new book hot off the press! Overjoyed to finally have my novel Duch in my hands. Why not fit it into your hands? Princess Diana is alive in Paris and making mischief. #Duch

Just 10 days away from the launch of my Princess-Diana-is-alive novel Duch, which has a four-star (****) average rating on Goodreads and Netgalley! Order it at your local independent bookstore. Loudly.

Let me clarify that my earlier remarks about dog obedience were in no way meant to mitigate canine crime. Misbehaving labradoodles (though a lovely breed) should be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law. I'm closing my account and entering a Buddhist monastery for the foreseeable future.

In an earlier post I said that labradoodles had been involved in a spate of crime. I’ve since learned that many of the atrocities were actually perpetrated by other breeds with superficial resemblances to labradoodles, such as cockapoos, goldendoodles and labranoodles. Apologies for this confusion.

I hope my modest contribution to the Society of Obedient Dogs will go some ways in making up for my ill-chosen remarks regarding my earlier ill-chosen remarks about labradoodles. In addition, I have volunteered at a local obedience school where wayward dogs are given β€œa new leash on life.” Walkies?

Apologies to the Anti-Labradoodle Front, who doxxed me for apologizing to the National Labradoodle Foundation for my post on this popular breed. I was unaware of the recent spate of labradoodle crime, and my amends to the National Labradoodle Fund were not meant to excuse these canine offences.

I’d like to apologize to the National Labradoodle Foundation for my poor choice of words regarding this elegant breed. Labradoodles are in fact a much-loved addition to the national dogscape and I hope my modest contribution to the National Labradoodle Fund will make up for my misjudged post.

Years from now, when I’m cancelled for an errant social media post, this will be the one that got me in trouble: I really don’t like labradoodles. There I said it. Fire at will.

It hasn’t even been released yet, but my book Duch already seems to be getting a lot of attention. Accustomed to working in complete obscurity, I find it disconcerting that people I don’t even know are reading my novel. And liking it! Shome mishtake, surely.

I don’t mean to insult 12-year-olds, but Trump has the brain of a 12-year-old. Has no one noticed this? Welcome to the infantilized White House.
